  • Japan's 40-Year Bond Yield Hits Record 4% on Fiscal Concerns After Snap Election Call
    January 20, 2026, 12:55 AM EST. Japan's 40-year government bond yield surged to a record 4% on Tuesday amid broad selling in government bonds. The spike followed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's announcement of a snap election scheduled for Feb. 8, raising market concerns over proposed food sales tax cuts and potential fiscal loosening. Shorter maturities also saw notable gains, with the 10-year bond yield hitting levels unseen since 1999.
